Wiliam Robertson (From Robertson & Baxter), John Marshall, James Ford and James Greenless founded the distillery in 1881. Since there was nothing on the site, contractors had to build a row of cottages for the workers, a schoolroom and a pier. After the initial investment of £30,000, the distillery ran its first spirit in October 1882 and full production started in January 1983. Islay Distillery Company Ltd made a profit of £10,000 on the following year. In 1887, the company merged with W Grant & Co to become the Highland Distillers. The distillery was expanded in 1963 with the number of stills increased from 2 to 4. The distillery was silent between 1932 and 1936 and in 1982-3. On 10 April 2003, the distillery was sold to Burn Stewart Distillers, part of CL World Brands for around £10 mio. Bunnahabhain was a robustly peaty and remained so until the early 1960s. Then, the whisky was unpeated and the first run of medium-heavily peated whisky took place in 1991 (28 ppm), followed by a second batch in 1997 (38 ppm).
